LED Strip Lights and Power Supply Needed for Undercabinet Lighting

I plan on ordering 2 reels of CENTRIC HOME LED Strip Lights for Home & Residential, PN 3003.27 for use as undercabinet lighting. At one point, I needed to go around a corner. How do I connect the two segments at that juncture? I will end up with 20 feet of lighting installed. What power supply/transformer will I need? Also, there are 4 other MR11-type LED downlights on the same run. Can the power supply I need power these as well? 

As a primary installation planning note, it might be helpful to know that our 12V and 24V products have different maximum lengths. Where the 12V has a maximum run of 16.4 feet, the 24V has a maximum combined length of 32.8 feet. When lengths greater than these are connected to power, voltage drop and reduced lumen output will occur. 

That said, the TRIAC Dimmable Power Supply for LED Strip has a maximum power output of 120W for 12V, and 96W for 24V. Given the above, we would likely recommend shortening the total LED Strip Lights used in the installation or adding one additional TRIAC Dimmable Power Supply for LED Strip to the installation for the second wall of lights. 

We have attached two LayoutMap guides below for installations that we think might be helpful to reference for your installation planning process. As you will note, 3001-1B includes the LED Strip to Strip Solderless Connector for Single Color LED, which we usually recommend for connecting strip light segments.

As we are not aware of the technical requirements of the MR11, they likely utilize ground voltage through a direct-wire connection. If they require power supplies and are of a matching voltage, it may be possible to use our power supplies in your installation to power all items.
